Ananthapuram, Kollam, Kochi, Kozhikode and Panthalayani were the major markets of the period.
The major ports were Kollam, Kochi, Kozhikode, and Valapattanam.
Several goods reached the markets in Kerala through land and sea trade. The goods are described in Unnuneeli sandesam, a poem in manipravalam (a new style of language-mixture of Sanskrit and old Malayalam- evolved during the medieval period known as manipravalam).
